lyrics

One thousand
Four hundred
Forty
Minutes in this day
Another is at bay
Sustained by the eternal optimist
Breeder of dreams
Salicious
Ripping at the seams
[Could it really be me? Could this tidal wave mean
That a proxy for satisfaction
Is merely this reverie?]
I don’t wanna stay calm
Just this once I am first
But no matter how I push ahead

I'm Waiting on the Universe

Three thousand
Six hundred
Sixty hours in the month of July
But the question is why?
Where have you been?
This time?
Not by my side.

Moon, stars, planets
Come and gather here

Sun, wind, land and water
Turn your westward ear

This time the plan of action
Echoes in my mind

I'll paint a picture that colors itself with time

If I can't have it;
I'll have to create it.
